MAYOR BACKS THE JUNCTION
KEN LIVINGSTONE SUPPORTS THE JUNCTION
It is vital that we improve the attractiveness of the station and its surroundings, making the most of the whole neighbourhood and stitching all of its individual parts together.
"We can only achieve this through careful planning over the next generation. If we can do this, the prize will be regeneration and jobs for HERNE HILL and great improvements to its layout and public space, making it more attractive, vibrant and easier to get around."
KEN LIVINGSTONE
MAYOR FOR LONDON

Junction
HERNE HILL JUNCTION
Details of the planning application for changes to
the Brockwell Park boundary are currently on the
Lambeth Planning website. These changes are minor and
will only serve to enhance the Park and make access
safer and easier. Moving the Park boundary by only a
few metres at its maximum is an essential part of the
Project. If planning permission is not granted then
the whole project will collapse.
A small group of people, whose motive seems to be to
stop the Project at all costs, irrespective of the
benefits that it will bring to Herne Hill, are
trying to whip up opposition to the application. It
is therefore essential that everyone who supports the
project makes that support clear to Lambeth Planning.
You can comment on the application at the following
link.
http://planning.lambeth.gov.uk/publicaccess/tdc/DcApplication/application_searchresults.aspx
Enter the application reference 07/03341/RG3, click on
'Search' and on 'Click to View'.
If you want to help make the Project succeed, act
now or lose it. You have until 2 November to make
your views known to Lambeth.

CARNEGIE
CARNEGIE LIBRARY MAKE A GARDEN 27TH OCTOBER 11-3
The Friends of the Carnegie Library, Herne Hill are currently creating a reading and wildlife garden behind the Carnegie Library with generous assistance from the Library Service, Lambeth's Parks Department and the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers. The project has been made possible by a BBC Breathing Places grant and additional funding from the Metropolitan Parks and Gardens Association.
Most of the heavy work has now been done and on Saturday, as part of national "Make a Difference Day", there will be a wide range of activities for both adults and children in the garden from 11 - 3, with sandwiches and cakes about 1pm. The Friends would be delighted if you could come along for some or all of the day to see what has been achieved so far and what is planned for the future. There will be opportunities to join in some of the remaining clearing work and to do some planting if you so wish.
Regards,
STEPHEN CARLILL
Chair, Friends of the Carnegie Library

NORTH DULWICH ROAD BRIDGE RENEWAL
NORTH DULWICH BRIDGE REPLACEMENT 5 MONTHS ROAD CLOSURES/DIVERSION
NETWORK RAIL are going to close the road bridge in Red Post hill by Dulwich station for about 5 months
An announcement by Network Rail (NR) at the Dulwich Community Council Meeting on Monday caused considerable surprise. The closure notice has been listed on the planning website for some time. Nevertheless Clouncillors felt that there should be some consultation on the impact of the temporay closure on traffic displacement and bus diversions inter alia.
The plan is to replace the rail bridge by North Dulwich station (it is unsafe) and as a result it will be closed to road traffic for about 5 months, and to rail traffic on 3 weekends. Pedestrian traffic will not be affected.
Before I try to fill in some details you will be pleased to note that Councillor Nick Vineall toby.eckersley@southwark.gov.uk ) is trying to persuade Network Rail to hold a public meeting to explain things more completely to local residents, and to hear their views. So please drop him an email to let him know that you would appreciate such a meeting thus providing him with ammunition to twist NR's arm.
The detail (as much as I know) THANKS TO MIKE COLVIN FOR THIS INFORMATION
· They plan to keep the railway operational apart from three weekends 13-14jan08, 23-24 feb08, 13-14apr08
· The road will be closed 2jan08 to 16may08
· One way working was considered impractical
· Traffic will be diverted via Half Moon Lane and Village Way (since even cars currently have problems negotiating the hairpin turn from Half Moon Lane into Village Way traffic chaos is predicted by me). NR claim that a "minor kerb realignment" will sort this.(I very much doubt it)
· The 37 bus will bypass the station for the period and be re-routed along Village Way where there will be a temporary stop. YES this does meant that the 37 will pass under the bridge on Village Way. NR claim that this has been tested and works, and that they will "skim the road surface" at this point.
· Trees along Village Way will be pollarded.
· The new bridge will be a "single span structure consisting of 26 pre-cast, pre-stressed beams"
· This will support 44 ton vehicles (current bridge standard)
· There will be a sympathetic reconstruction of the bridge parapet, possibly using the original style of bricks (current bricks are not the originals).
· Street furniture to be reinstated "like for like".
· The grade II listed station building will not be affected.
Please forward this email to other local residents who you feel will be affected.
Kind regards
